I think your title pretty much sums up your situation. You wrote your sand castle crashed. Sand castles never last. Either the tide comes in or another beach goer runs through or it rains or.....
I think deep down you knew something would happen, maybe not the specifics of what actually did, but something. And I think deep down you know you are strong enough to deal with it all. It may not be ideal or pleasant, but we're all stronger than we think. Take some deep breaths, let go of the bewilderment, and focus on the positives in your life. Good luck.

I offered mine a $8,000 bedroom set (which she took), a second bedroom set (nothing fancy), a washer and dryer (which she took), a living room and dining room set complete with china cabinet. Then she went off in a tizzy because I wouldn't let her have my cherished grandparents antique bedroom set that was the only thing I wanted to keep out of my entire house.
Ooooohhh.....my bad!
